Being shown levels by the 2026 Pelicans man it’s bleak in Sacramento

The Sacramento Kings have the BEST RECORD in the league (in terms of tanking). Things are looking the opposite of bleak around here. This is much better than having too many wins and therefore, meh lottery odds.

Kings have the worst record in the NBA and therefore is guaranteed a top 5 pick. This draft class isn’t the last draft class where Cooper Flagg was a tier above everyone. There’s at least 3 guys in Cooper’s tier this year, so just getting a top 3 pick is a catastrophic victory. And arguably, the 4th, 5th, and 6th guys in this class are also awesome so they’re fine consolation prizes.

This is to say that unless the guy the Kings pick turns out to be Markelle Fultz, it is impossible to miss out as long as the Kings float in this draft range. We suck too much (naturally) and the other teams around us have won too many games. There is no way for your Bulls, for example, to catch up to us unless the Kings win some games.

Trust me, I’m keenly aware. I’d be more than thrilled with getting any of the top 5. Boozer would be great. The Kings are the single best tank I’ve seen in a long time. They’re a lock for the top. I just think it would be funny if the Mavs got #1 again.

This is the sort of blind, pointless optimism this team should have trained out of you by now. A high pick is no guarantee of anything. We will fuck this up in ways the league cannot comprehend.

Well I mean if the Kings get the #1 pick they will still suck, because they are an unserious organization.

Imagine if they got the 2nd pick in a draft featuring FOUR multi-time All Stars in the lottery, they’d probably be amazing a few years later!

MAX. THE GREATEST FRENCH CENTER FOR THE NEXT DECADE, WITH THE ²⁰⁄₂₀ GAME!

EDIT: Are you fucking kidding me?! Did they go back and take away one of Max’s rebounds so we couldn’t celebrate and have headlines about our rookie center having a ²⁰⁄₂₀ game.. tell me it’s an error.

Even the ass-off is ass. The best part of the game is when Doug Christie called a timeout just while Russ is about to have an open layup, and Russ audibly shouted to the bench “WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT”

He probably woulda bricked it anyways.. Russ is 🚮, and what makes that scary is that he’s maybe the best player on yall team. 😬

It was that but now on Google player stats/game stats it’s showing 19 rebounds… they better not have gone back & removed one just so we can’t say our awesome 42nd pick top rookie ladder center had a ²⁰⁄₂₀ game

hope I’m wrong but Raynaud feels like he is just gonna end up equivalent to a french Spencer Hawes (ability wise)

podnito | Pelicans

1 | a day ago

man, hadn’t heard that name in a while. There was a time I was doing fantasy basketball and Hawes was giving me ¹³⁄₈ with a 3 and a block per game. Highly underrated end of bench big in roto formats.

Virtual_Penalty8009

Yup, Spencer wasn’t a bad player but I’m afraid Kings fans are once again overhyping a player that is realistically a bench rotation piece

Gins_and_Tonics | Kings

2 | 21 hours ago

It’s the same thing with Cardwell. Great job by Perry finding some rotation-level NBA players outside of the first round, but that’s likely their ceiling.

NBA patted itself on the back for making changes to the lottery but it didn’t stop tanking at all. Just a total joke league.

DeMar has publicly talked about his battles with mental health. He did not look happy in the clip on the bench.

I hope you guys buy him oit. He does not dsserve this. He clearly cares. Forcing him to lose over and over must be torture.
